  • U.S. Is Only Country To See Tourism Decline In 2025

    Jump

  • To be fair, hard to decline when it's already low. Even if they did include Israel or other countries mentioned in the replies, it's still totally possible their tourism isn't lower this year than last. Especially places where it was already pretty much 0 or statistically insignificant. Not declining doesn't mean it went up, just means it's at least the same percentage it was last year.

  • Wait... I see these all the time... is it maybe just a Canada thing?

  • Yeah, even "powerless" narcissists need someone to feed their ego, and will eventually turn on that person and need a new one.

    It's just worse when the narcissist has power.

  • Tesla In 'Self-Drive Mode' Hit By Train After Turning Onto Train Tracks

    Jump

  • Map data obtained and converted from other formats often ends up accidentally condensing labeling categories. One result is train tracks being categorized as generic roads instead of retaining their specific sub-heading. Another, unrelated to this, but common for people that play geo games is when forests and water areas end up being tagged as the wrong specific types.

  • Hehe, fair.

  • That looks a lot more expensive than just a VR headset and a recliner or bed you likely already own. And in VR you can pick whether it's 3 monitors, or one seamless curved triple-wide, no matter what you own in real life. And you can keep the monitor(s) with you when you stand up if you want.

    But, what I'm curious about... how is this a "shoes on" occasion?

  • For those who play games on a PC with 2 monitors, are you a game on the left screen or game on the right screen person?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I use Virtual Desktop, there are other options, but from my experience, there really isn't... hehe.

  • For those who play games on a PC with 2 monitors, are you a game on the left screen or game on the right screen person?

    Jump

  • When not playing on it, it's usually a browser window. When playing on it, I use it for 120hz, cuz my physical monitor/TV is only 60hz.

    Jump

  • I game on one virtual representation of my real monitor at 4k60hz, and one entirely virtual monitor at 4k120hz. When I am playing a game my sister wants to watch, I play it on the screen that also exists in real life. When I am playing just for me, I play it on the 120hz screen. They are one on top of each other, at the touch of a button they swap exact places with each other. I put the one I'm playing on currently at the bottom.

    The main reason I do top/bottom is because the screens are quite large. About the equivalent of sitting a foot away from my real 55 inch TV, but the screens are 20 feet away for eye comfort. So I can effectively only see one screen at a time as they each nearly fill my vision. As big as they can be without having to turn my neck to see parts of them. The top monitor is tilted down towards me, and basically on the roof. Oh, I should mention I generally play from a recliner when playing desktop games, so even the lower monitor is tilted down to face me.

    When I want to play something in ultra-wide, the virtual screen can be set to 5740x1080 at 120hz(equal to 3 1080p screens side by side, but as one screen, flat or curved to any degree you want), but for the most part anything that works in ultra-wide works in VR, and full VR is likely gonna be the better option.

    Although most of the time I'm playing full VR games and standing to play them. No apparent screens there, just living in the game.

  • Gov. Greg Abbott to deploy Texas National Guard in anticipation of protests

    Jump

  • Hehe fair. I am still shocked every day that they gave away their plan and are still able to pretend they are reacting to what is happening rather than just following the plan they told us they were going to follow.

  • Gov. Greg Abbott to deploy Texas National Guard in anticipation of protests

    Jump

  • This was in project 2025, none of them are surprised, it's literally the next step in the plan they showed us. It's too bad that document was 900 pages and took too long to make summaries of that people's attention span lapsed by the time they were available. If you want to stop being surprised, summaries have been available since within the week it was originally posted though.

  • Speaker Mike Johnson suggests California Governor should be ‘tarred and feathered’

    Jump

  • One thing about people without empathy is that they actually literally don't care about people who aren't them, dying. It's even worse when they are also believers in zero-sum theory, since then they also think they are better off when more people die.

    It's not that they haven't thought about how many people will die, they are actually looking forward to it, it's the point.

  • Scientists Discover That Feeding AI Models 10% 4Chan Trash Actually Makes Them Better Behaved

    Jump

  • There are a couple relatively safe places on 4 chan. But like 90% of the content makes for great "don't do this if you want to get along with humans" training.

    And the goal of training an AI is that it does want to get along with humans.

  • Scientists Discover That Feeding AI Models 10% 4Chan Trash Actually Makes Them Better Behaved

    Jump

  • They are essentially a fun toy for most people, and an ok tool for people with the patience and training to get useful output from them. And they cost an insane amount of money to train and an insane amount of power to run.

    Not to mention the other cost of training them, the human emotional cost. And the human cost of running them.

    It just costs so much of a variety of things, for an output that has barely made anything better. Maybe they might get "better" in the future, and have to get through this stage to get there, but I've also seen a lot of people saying they appear to be starting to plateau... maybe a temporary plateau, but if so, how temporary? Could we just drop it for 10 years and start back up when they won't be as inefficient? Maybe a law that they have to pay for everything they feed it, would effectively cause them to only emerge at a time when they are actually feasible.

  • I wouldn't want to anthropomorphise the actual process of creating nut-based milks. It would be a little too soylent.

  • How long until someone is allowed to make a safety can opener with a long crank?

    Jump

  • Possibly, I'd have to see if they can be taken apart. From memory, I don't recall exactly what the handle fastener looked like, but it seemed like an unadjustable system.

  • How long until someone is allowed to make a safety can opener with a long crank?

    Jump

  • That doesn't look like a safety can opener, the ones that cut the side of the rim? Looks like the old style, like a swingline or something.
